The 4th Slovenian Association for Gastroenterology and Hepatology (SAGH) Congress that will be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, from 8 to 10 June 2017.

Dear colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that I cordially invite you to the 4th Slovenian Association for Gastroenterology and Hepatology (SAGH) Congress that will be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, from 8 to 10 June 2017.

The scientific programme will cover many challenging and changing aspects of gastrointestinal and hepatological diseases from the point of view of diagnosis and treatment. Along with state of the art lectures, many research projects will be presented, too.

On the first day, a Postgraduate Course organized in collaboration between EAGEN (European Society for Gastroenterology, Endoscopy and Nutrition), EHMSG (European Helicobacter Microbiota Study Group) and SAGH will bring you highlights in recent developments on some important gastrointestinal and hepatological diseases.

The internationally renowned speakers from 15 EU member countries and other European countries testify to the high scientific level of the Congress. The Congress and the Course are organised under the auspices of SAGH, EAGEN and EHMSG.

We hope to attract many participants from Central and South European countries, as the Congress offers a great opportunity for regional and European exchange of new scientific ideas and findings in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology.

The Congress will be held at the Grand Hotel Union in the historical centre of the Slovenian capital Ljubljana, which has been declared the European Green Capital 2016 and is the proud holder of the Tourism for Tomorrow 2015 award.

It is a great honour to invite you to this exciting event and I hope to see you in large numbers at the 4th SAGH Congress in Ljubljana in June 2017.
